Oh Tom, Tom, if you’ll recall, here’s how things actually evolved:
In discussing morality you stated that, “Morality is burned into our DNA,†and I replied that, “I was expecting a little more rigor and honesty here,†that “if that’s all there is, then your DNA “morality†is really not “morality,†it’s simply genes/algorithms, and the resulting behavior we might see, say, in a wolf pack . . .â€
Then you griped: “So now you're calling me a stupid liar,†that you expected “a bit more “morality†from me, and added that I was “too busy insulting people, maybe in the hopes of saving them to the grace of god where wars and natural disasters have no effect,†and that my “illusions are going to be the cause of our ultimate demise. That's what really scares me.â€
Your additional sarcasms:
Quote:
I hope you do, however, continue to read with as much of an open mind as you can afford.
Your extrapolation of someone's idea of entropy to mean God the Father Who Art in Heaven, is somewhat LESS than objective, at least to me because I do not accept it….
Your precept of everyone sinning and needing to bend to your imaginary beliefs (or what???) is what is scary. And not only because it puts everyone in the position of unearned shame.

Finally, trying to help you see the irrationality in your “scary†feeling, I noted that there’s no rational reason for you to be whining about other automatons, that don’t share your atheism, being “scary,†b/c in such a world we’re all, after all, merely automatons driven by blind determinism.
And now you whine: “I deeply pity your apparent inability to express your points without insulting me.†Gee, it looks like you’ve been doing the insulting here, and frankly Tom, I’m surprised how magnanimous I’ve been . . . you’re beginning to irritate me though.
